Public meeting on the Leeds Girls High planning application – 7pm Monday 7.12.09 at City Church

The Grammar School at Leeds has now re-presented its planning applications for the Leeds Girls High site. These are practically the same as the ones rejected by the community a year ago, but with a few minor changes. The effect is still the same : building development on the Protected Playing Pitches (the pitches have Protected status in the city’s Unitary Development Plan because the adjacent area is considered severely deprived in terms of playing pitch provision).

A public meeting has been arranged to enable residents to air their views on the revised plans. It will be attended by several Leeds City Council planning officers, including senior planning officer Paul Gough. Also in attendance will be Peter Torrible, the planning consultant who obtained planning permission for the Grammar School at Leeds to extend onto the green belt at Alwoodley to accommodate the girls from Leeds Girls High School.

Here are the details of the meeting :

Time : 7pm
Date : Monday 7 December
Venue : City Church, Headingley Lane (opposite the Leeds Girls High main site)

City Church is an impressive Victorian buidling designed by Cuthbert Broderick, the architect responsible for the Corn Exchange and Town Hall. It’s located at the junction of Cumberland Road and Headingley Lane – see map.
